Rick Allen emotionally returned to stage at Monsters of Rock in 1986, moved by crowd support after losing his arm in a 1984 accident.
Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen shared an emotional memory from his 1986 return to the stage at the Monsters of Rock festival in England, where he broke down in tears amid overwhelming audience support after losing his left arm in a 1984 car accident.
Though the band aimed to treat the show normally, the crowd’s reaction moved Allen deeply, a moment he called a personal and professional triumph.
The band, which received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star on October 10, 2025, continues touring, having completed a U.S. summer run and planning a Las Vegas residency starting in February.
